Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
XEphem should work everywhere - so whatever is needed for that, I'd say.
I'm just a consumer/observer, happy that people are working on this!

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
Apple moving to the new chip may break the executable but not the package manager. Those two things are not related.
So your proposing not including any updates to Xephem for OSX?

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
Mac OSX already has a (nice) .dmg for XEphem, but it will likely be broken when tried with the new chip. (I have abandoned mac for this and other reasons.)
I'm on ubuntu which has snap and apt

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
Why do you want to limit it to Linux platforms?
What about Unix platforms like Mac OSX.
I have it installed Fedora and OSX 10.14.
... and forgive me for saying this Windows.

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
Hi all,
Appimage, Snap and Flatpak are 3 different concepts with the same goal: to pack a complete application with all dependencies in one package and make it executable on a variety of platforms

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
Hi,
I am not sure what flatpak is and how it works.
Will there be any chance of having it in "Appimage"? https://appimage.org/
An "Appimage" is a single file with all libraries and program compress

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
Ok, just to throw in my two cents...
I managed to get xephem to build an run on my Ubuntu Linux box with no problems at all. After a quick re-try, back when this thread started, I failed. Since atm.

Right, I think it's in ports/packages in OpenBSD too. But did it come out

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
Yes, please, a tar.gz. On a quick look flatpak is only for linux.
Xephem at least used to run and Apples and the BSDs.

Xephem 4.0.0 installs from AUR on an Arch Linux system
It is somewhat depressing to see how many people have trouble installing xephem on Ubuntu or other distros.?? I have compiled v. 3.7.7 several times, even though it does install on Arch Linux and

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
I would encourage us to keep a tar.gz of it also.
Is anyone in charge of doing this or are random people pitching in when they can?

Re: it is time to create a flatpak for xephem
I like debs. apt install handles debs ok.
The limits of snap are silly but I've worked around them.
I don't know what a flatpak is.

Thanks for the reply, Gordon. My favorite search engine for RPMs is
